Where does timlo come from? Quoted from the page Indonesia.go.id, according to Heri Priyatmoko, a historian at Sanata Dharma University Yogyakarta, said that the timlo dish was inspired by kimlo soup. 

This kimlo soup originally came from ethnic Chinese culinary traditions and later became popular among the general public, especially in Java, as timlo. 

Heri Priyatmoko said that this food is widely known in Central Java and East Java. Read news without ads. The name change from kimlo to timlo is an example of phonetic correspondence when a sound change occurs due to differences in pronunciation by different dialects. 

Ethnic Chinese call it kimlo but when it is pronounced by Javanese people it sounds like timlo which then becomes a common term. 

A similar phenomenon also occurs in other Chinese foods. For example, dumplings are originally called shaomai, and lumpia comes from the word lun pia in Hokkien.
